India Women showed good spirit while chasing 150 runs against Pakistan in first match of the prestigious event. The absence of main opener Smriti Mandhana in first group clash did not hurt the team much due to some sensational performances at the top, though her return into the side is much-needed. Jemimah Rodrigues was seen in her absolute best form after a long time and rose to the occasion at a key juncture in the game. The Right-handed batter smashed an unbeaten half century to chase down the record-breaking second highest Women's T20 World Cup total.

Shafali Verma and Richa Ghosh were the other two anchors in the chase for the team to pull-off a win in a thrilling encounter against Pakistan. Their form in the remaining tournament is key to the team apart from skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who lost her wicket early on in the opening clash on Sunday. Among bowlers, Radha Yadav scalped two wickets meanwhile, Pooja Vastrakar and Deepti Sharma took one wicket each.

On the other hand, coming into the marquee event, West Indies Women continued their terrible form and lost an opening group match of the Women's T20 World Cup 2023 to England by seven-wickets. Skipper Hayley Mathews proved out to be the standout performer for the team. The bowlers looked in miserable form and leaked the runs unceasingly. West Indies Women will desperately need to bring-off a win in their next group clash on Wednesday to keep themselves alive in the race for Semi-finals, however, India with the winning momentum in their side are favourites to clinch the upcoming clash.
